That sounds good to me, hp. He says he doesn’t like the gamey taste. Which I never noticed until he mentioned it!
Sounds like an easy way to cook one too. Granny posted some neat recipes for cooking stuffing in the crockpot - I want to try those also.
hmmmm, I’m thinking I’ll go get a cheap turkey tomorrow, take it to the cabin with me along with a crockpot and have that to eat all next week.
Now, how do I make this again? Do I add some water?
ps. I’m so glad you didn’t leave us when you were frustrated with the aggravating news coming out. We sane ones need to stick together.
I've never used a LARGE crockpot, nor one of those big turkey roasters.
I've got a small crockpot, into which I can fit 2 drumsticks, by placing the fat ends DOWN in opposite sides of the crockpot. I start them by 9 am, and put them on LOW, then they are ready for supper time, anytime after 4:30.
If I only cook a turkey breast, I first put a TINY little bit of oil on the bottom of the crockpot, and then skin-side UP, I squish the turkey breast into the bottom of the crockpot. I put pats of butter on top of the skin. Cook on LOW about 8 hours or so -- see, when it's done, it's REALLY hard to overcook meat.
Turkey thighs are GREAT in the crockpot, and provide lots of juice for turkey gravy.
I just buy the cut up parts of the turkey, they go on sale frequently around here -- and frankly, turkey is so filling, that I consider it a "deal" at regular price, too.
